What do u mean? He doesnt even mention year, he just says the month so he can't be talking about model year. "We may show it in Los Angeles in November and then launch it officially here in January [2018].”
I'm sure they have the model year pegged already, just have to decide when they will...
Or the whole schedule could get pushed back. Sergio made some comments that sort of contradict everything we have seen on this and other forums. He said the JT would come out in 2019 meanwhile I keep seeing Fall 2018 everywhere. So there might have been a big delay... or maybe he's just talking...
Man I flashed back to the 90s when I saw those leaf springs lol. Haven't seen those since YJ Wranglers and I don't think Ram trucks even use them anymore?
I think Wrangler owners will riot if it gets the accordion style roof of the Liberty without any changes. It's just a big sunroof and belongs on your typical SUV , NOT on the Wrangler. I don't know how they are going to do it on the JL but FCA cant screw this up, the roof is too important.
Not a fan of this decision, though good they will still offer V6. Turbo might have more power and torque than the V6 and usually more power is good, but not for the Wrangler. For off-road use, turbos aren't ideal. Their power comes on suddenly compared to the linear power delivery of a V6. Ok...
Something tells me if it weren't for even stricter EPA standards FCA wouldn't even redesign the Wrangler with how strong sales are still. All of the changes that are rumored seem like a pure MPG play. Turbo four, more aerodynamic, changes in the roof to lessen overall weight. Sure it'll help...
